Penguins Re-Sign Goaltender John Curry

The Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins have re-signed goaltender John Curry to a two-year contract, it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Ray Shero.

Curry, 25, played three games with Pittsburgh during the 2008-09 season, including his NHL debut on Nov. 26, relieving Dany Sabourin and helping the Penguins secure a 5-3 victory over the New York Islanders. He posted a 2-1-0 record along with a .913 save percentage and 2.14 goals-against average during his stint with the Penguins.

Curry registered a 33-15-1 record in 50 games last season with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League (AHL), earning a .916 save percentage and a 2.38 goals-against average. He made seven post-season appearances with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, posting a 4-3 record, a .885 save percentage and a 3.36 goals-against average.

The 5-11, 185-pound goaltender posted a 24-12-3 record in 40 contests during the 2007-08 season with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, ranking fifth in the AHL with a 2.23 goals-against average and registering a .915 save percentage. The 24-year old posted a 2.83 goals-against average and a .899 save percentage in 23 playoff games, helping the Penguins reach the Calder Cup Finals. Curry was named to the 2008 AHL All-Rookie Team.

The Owen Sound, Ontario native originally signed with the Penguins on July 17, 2007.

The Rams' offense featuring weapons such as Marshall Faulk, Torrey Holt, and Isaac Bruce were known as "The Greatest Show on Turf"

The Steelers' offense featuring weapons such as Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant should be known as "The Greatest Show on Grass"

This has nothing at all to do with respective playing surfaces at the Edward Jones Dome vs. Heinz Field.
